Activity No. 5 Answer

The document discusses the key components of a mathematical system: undefined terms which are described but not defined, defined terms which use undefined terms, axioms/postulates which are assumed to be true without proof, and theorems which are proved using the other elements. It provides examples for each type of term from geometry. The activities at the end instruct the learner to answer questions about these components and illustrate different geometric terms.

Four Parts of Defined Terms/Definitions

System Axioms and Postulates

Theorems
• Undefined terms are terms that are left
Undefined undefined in the system. Instead of providing
Terms a definition for them, we resort to a
description, illustration, or demonstration.
Examples:
• Point - represented by a dot, it has no length,
width, or thickness.
• Line - represented by a straight line with two
arrowheads, it has no thickness, but its length
extends and goes on forever in both directions.
Why Undefined
terms?
• How do you define the first word without
other words?
• Have you ever looked up a word that was
explained in terms of another word that you
did not know?
• Have you looked up the new word to find
that it was defined in terms or the first word?
• This can be a real problem. In foreign
languages this happens all the time. This also
happens in geometry.
Defined • Definitions or defined terms on the other
Terms or hand are terms defined from the undefined
terms in the system.
definitions
Examples:
• Angle - A figure formed by two rays, called the
sides of the angle, sharing a common endpoint,
called the vertex of the angle.
• Parallel lines - Lines in a plane which do not
meet.
• Early Greeks considered postulates as
general truths common to all studies and
axioms as the truths relating to the special
study at hand.
Axioms and • The word "axiom" can be used
interchangeably with "postulate." If a
Postulates statement is an axiom, it is regarded as
true whether it makes sense or not.
• Postulates are statements that are
considered true without proof or
validation.
Examples:
• Postulate: Through any two points there is
exactly one line.
• Postulate: If two lines intersect, then they
intersect at exactly one point.
• These statements need not to be proven.
• Theorems are statements proved to
Theorems be true using postulates, definitions,
other established theorems, and logic.
Examples:
• Vertical Angles Theorem: Vertical angles are equal in measure.
Proof:
SUMMARY
A mathematical system is a system composed of the following:
• Undefined terms: Terms that have no definition, but instead are either
described or illustrated.
• Definitions or Defined terms: Terms that are defined using undefined
terms in the system.
• Axioms or Postulates: Statements that are considered true without
proof or validation.
• Theorems: Statements proved to be true using postulates, definitions,
other established theorems, and logic.
